Three types of Employer Presentations are popular at Rensselaer:

Information Session   Scheduled the evening prior to your interviews. May be scheduled between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Also open to any other student who has an interest in learning more about your organization.

Informational Meetings are generally used by employers to provide more detailed information on their products/services; to discuss position descriptions and career paths; and to talk about the social, cultural, educational, and housing opportunities in their geographic area.

The recruiting staff will make every effort to schedule these meetings so that yours will not be offered at the same time as another employer who is recruiting for similar academic disciplines.

Students scheduled to interview with you will be strongly encouraged to attend. (Please understand that some of them may have classes or prior obligations that may prevent them from attending your presentation.)

Corporate Career Day   Scheduled at any time during the year, though most popular before on-campus interviewing begins as a means to attract interested candidates.

Career Days are most often scheduled as half or full day events (usually between the hours of 10:00am and 4:00pm) and are held in the Great Hall of the Darrin Communication Center where there is the greatest student traffic. Career Days have also been held in our own CDC Cafe!

Open House   Usually scheduled one month prior to your recruiting date. Usually open to all students who have an interest in learning more about your organization.

Open Houses provide you with a way of introducing your company to students and a way for you to encourage students to sign up for interviews before your scheduled recruiting date.
